'Four years of war turned Ypres into a ghost town. Not a leaf grew
on a tree. Scarcely one stone stood upon another. From the battered
ramparts the eye swept clean across a field of rubble to the
swamp-lands beyond . . .' The Third Battle of Ypres, ending in a
desperate struggle for the ridge and little village of
Passchendaele, was one of the most appalling campaigns in the
history of warfare. A million Tommies, Canadians and Anzacs
assembled at the Ypres Salient in summer of 1917, mostly raw young
troops keen to do their bit for King and Country. This book tells
their tale of mounting disillusion amid mud, terror and
increasingly desperate attacks, yet it is also a story of immense
courage, comradeship, high spirits and hope. In Passchendaele, Lyn
Macdonald lets over 600 soldiers speak for themselves. In doing so,
she portrays events from the only point of view that really
matters.
